To find out how many boxes can be stacked along the height of the storage crate, we need to follow a series of logical steps, converting all measurements to a common unit and then performing the calculation.
1. Convert the height of the storage crate to inches:
- The storage crate's height is given as 8 feet.
- Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we multiply 8 feet by 12 inches per foot:
[tex]\[
8 \text{ feet} \times 12 \text{ inches per foot} = 96 \text{ inches}
\][/tex]
2. Determine the height of one box:
- The height of one box is given as 6 inches.
3. Calculate the number of boxes that can be stacked along the height of the crate:
- To find how many boxes can fit along the height, we divide the height of the storage crate (in inches) by the height of one box (in inches):
[tex]\[
\frac{96 \text{ inches}}{6 \text{ inches per box}} = 16
\][/tex]
Therefore, the number of boxes that can be stacked along the height of the storage crate is 16 boxes.
